Alliance

The Alliance, in Azerothian mythology, is one of two major political factions in Azeroth, its counterpart being the Horde. The Alliance originated as the Alliance of Lordaeron, a union of the seven human kingdoms, the dwarves of Khaz Modan, the gnomes of Gnomeregan, and the high elves of Quel'Thalas, among others. The Alliance was radically reformed after the fall of Lordaeron and the invasion of the Burning Legion in the "Third War", creating an Alliance between the humans, the ironforge dwarves, the night elves, the Draenei, and the gnomes, as well as the high elves, half-elves, wildhammer dwarves, and a few half-orcs.
